H.J. Shreeve Poems

Do not seek refuge in the places that I do,
Such places would do you no good.
This is all around me, It follows me there.
I am told it is not necessary to fear one's own kind,
...

My suffering,
A sea that laps no shore.
Three years stranded,
Stranded at sea.
...

Hey, cruel world.
Leave me alone.
I'm tired and I'm broke.
A bitter old man,
...

I am a codeine dream
School girl sex gallery
Man and beast entwined
A finger short of a hand
...

She dares not let the world hear her speak,
She's getting thin and looking meek,
A grey hair is splitting in her widows peak
She lays idle in the month of June.
...

6.

It always rains in my hometown,
The clouds are kind enough to wash what they can away

The town cut out my tongue,
...

I find comfort in my misery,
Like the dog that refuses to sleep in it's box,
Despite the crunch of frost,
Despite the chill that licks it's face.
...

So petty, the concerns of man 
That I would bore out my ears 
For but a brief silence
Gouge my eyes,
...

Despair,
A hole dug deep,
By bloody fingernails,
Dug deep,
...

feel my longing,
dripping from each pores,
tight black,
makes skin so crisp and white,
...

You were a product of poor environment.
You were given no chance,
You were given no hope,
Destined to be held captive,
In a prison of flesh and bone.
...

You grind your teeth when sleeping.
Not that it bothers me, but yet I wonder.
Are you angry with me?
Was it something I said?
...

Amisulpride days,
See nothing,
feel nothing at all,
Yeah I guess I'm a wanderer.
...

I wreak of desperate masturbation,
Two days consoling myself,
Trying to find happiness,
In this mundane place,
...

There are parts of me of which I am repulsed.
Shadows that linger, at full sun, whispers of gods false.
This body of mine, a prison,
a chamber of sharp wire,
...

The Best Poem Of H.J. Shreeve

Caged... Like A Three Legged Pig.

Do not seek refuge in the places that I do,
Such places would do you no good.
This is all around me, It follows me there.
I am told it is not necessary to fear one's own kind,
Tell me, Do you?

Only animals, Broken in spirit,
Soil the place they eat and sleep,
I walk through your steel jungle,
I can not stand the stench of your filth,
The same filth that tars my lung, stains my teeth.

Do you feel free?
Do you feel like a once proud beast,
One tied, Drugged and placed in captivity.
You sleep in your own excrement.

I walk aimlessly, unburdened by map,
I walk amongst all this I can not escape.
I capture it on film,
Each morning, trying to seek beauty in this cage,

Still, It keeps me awake,
The spoken words, The sound of machines, The hum of neon - Like a thousand flies swarming around all this decay.
For me, No escape.

Do not seek refuge in the places I do, Such places would do you no good.
